The holidays are here, and that is a rough time for many of us. Perhaps posting some things we are grateful for may help?

1. I am grateful for God's mercy and patience.2. I am grateful that I have the use of my left hand/arm while the right wrist is healing.3. I am grateful for friends, neighbors, coworkers and family who have helped in various ways during my recovery.4. And I am grateful for a million other things...eyesight, my pets, a roof over my head, and on and on.

To quote a fellow survivor, "Peace be the journey." Be safe, everyone.
